2016 Draft Thread - The Rebuild Begins

[Taylor]

That newsroom person on the radio gets something wrong every day.

How long do GWS and Gold Coast have to match a bid on one of their academy players?

They will match faster than something you can imagine that is really fast running down hill with the wind behind them.

Something like Bradley Hill?

 

[Tbonefreo]

I reckon he would have been an absolute ripper. Kid went so hard at the footy and really took the game on. Saw him do some amazing things in the WAFL.

He comes from Narranderra Nsw. He was playing seniors when he was 13. When he was drafted he was a local hero.

Caught the final 30 seconds, and it sounded like they were talking Fyfe. What else did he say?

 

[mad4freo]

Not much about the draft tbh. He did say we have a definite interest in Simpkin and we have done interviews recently with all players around the mark at pick 7. Also talked about English but didn't sound that interest in him to be honest he just said that being from WA was something to weigh up. After that the main talk was about Bennell injury and Fyfe contract both he didn't have much to add on.

Some phantom have us taking four picks, others five. Any hints on that?

Personally I'd like to see both 70s picks taken and stay with 39 on the senior list.

If anyone on the draft telecast goes he'll be great on the wide open spaces of Subiaco that person should be tarred and featheted and be made to wear a i know nothing about football shirt for the rest of their lives.

I would be expecting that our draft rankings are adjusted accordingly.

Correct me if i'm wrong, the MCG is wider than Subi, Subi is longer... Vic media logic

Hoping for some decent melts today.

Doesn't matter. Any draftee is likely to play 6 games at Subi tops. Then its the hybrid size new ground.

Its a depth draft. Love for the club to go with six picks.

If we get Simpkin we need to petition inclusion in dreamtime at the G.
